Photo Reference for 88 Witnessing History


These photos will be placed throughout the school in large-scale versions assembled by students so that each floor will have its own pictorial journey through history to experience on Inauguration Day.The process of making smaller images into larger ones results in a dilation. In making these dilations, we worked on scaling pictures into posters. Artists use this idea to enlarge or reduce the scale of a painting, and map skills can also be taught through this process of coordinate geometry.
